Background: Recently, fluoroscopy-assisted computer navigation has been developed to assess intraoperative cup inclination/anteversion and leg-length discrepancy (LLD) in the operating room. However, there is a relative dearth of studies investigating accuracy this software compared with postoperative radiographs. Materials Methods: We prospectively enrolled 211 navigated anterior total hip arthroplasties using software. Intraoperative measurements were anteroposterior radiographs LLD....
Study Design. Randomized Biomechanical Cadaveric Study—Level II. Objective. We aimed to elucidate that placing lateral lumbar interbody cages span the stronger ring apophysis will require increasing loads for failure, decreasing rates of subsidence, regardless bone density or endplate integrity. Summary Background Data. There are several reports regarding and grades cage subsidence when utilizing fusion technique. However, there is limited data on how spanning across can prevent it. Methods....
Prosthetic impingement is implicated in dislocation after total hip arthroplasty (THA). While use of larger diameter femoral heads reduces the incidence dislocation, effect upon rate unknown. We assessed retrieved THA components for evidence to determine if large reduced primary and what factors might influence impingement.Liners from 97 THAs at revision were scored impingement, defined as wear or deformation on rim component. Component inclination version measured anteroposterior...
Tranexamic acid (TXA) has been shown to decrease hemoglobin loss and reduce the need for transfusions in primary hip knee arthroplasty. Our study evaluated safety efficacy of topical TXA revision TKA periprosthetic joint infection (PJI). We performed a retrospective review patients who underwent removal hardware with antibiotic spacer placement (stage 1) and/or 2) PJI at our institution between September 2007 July 2013. During that time, 49 stage-1 procedures (20 knees TXA, 29 without TXA)...
Anthropomorphic phantoms were used to measure radiation exposure the surgeon phantom's eye. Groups analyzed were: Group 1-no glasses (None); 2-leaded lenses without lead sides (WOLS); 3-leaded with (WLS); and 4-sport wraparound leaded (Sport). Glasses 0.75 mm equivalent.To evaluate efficacy of three types eyeglasses at reducing lens during typical views minimally invasive spine surgery.Minimally surgery relies upon fluoroscopic x-ray. Ocular is associated cataract formation. Leaded can...
Aims Traditionally, acetabular component insertion during total hip arthroplasty (THA) is visually assisted in the posterior approach and fluoroscopically anterior approach. The present study examined accuracy of a new surgeon (NSA) (NSP) THA using robotic arm-assisted technology compared to two experienced surgeons traditional methods. Methods Prospectively collected data was reviewed for 120 patients at institutions. Data were on first 30 surgeries performed by newly graduated (all...
We surveyed patients in an adult reconstruction practice as to their use of the Web-based portal provided by our electronic health record, seeking reveal patterns and helpfulness.A total 150 completed surveys were received. The survey queried demographics, number clinic visits, Internet access, activation, frequency, information questions how answered them. Helpfulness was rated from 1 (not helpful) 5 (very helpful). Statistical analysis included bivariate logistic regression, with odds...
Hypersensitivity reactions to zirconia (ZrO2) or similar ceramics is highly unusual. Owing the stable oxide formed between base metal and oxygen, are considered relatively biologically inert. We report case of an otherwise healthy 50-year-old woman with a 5-year history progressively worsening right hip pain who underwent ceramic-on-polyethylene total replacement subsequently developed hypersensitivity reaction. After allergy testing showed her be reactive zirconium, femoral head was revised...
An effusion at the onset of viscosupplementation has been thought to diminish efficacy and increase adverse event rates. This study compares hylan G-F 20 in patients with without an effusion. Patients knee osteoarthritis (OA) received three weekly injections 20. A total 50 requiring aspiration were compared matched Outcome measurements included Western Ontario McMaster's Universities Osteoarthritis index (WOMAC) visual analog scale (VAS). followed for 26 weeks. Both control group VAS was...
